English Grammar - Synonyms and Antonyms

Select the most appropriate antonym of the given word: Erudite


Options:

  1. Scholarly
  2. Uninformed
  3. Learned
  4. Intellectual

Right Answer: Uninformed

'Erudite' describes a person who has acquired extensive knowledge through wide reading and study, and it is often used of scholars and their writing. An antonym must therefore express an absence of such knowledge. Among the options, 'uninformed' means lacking knowledge or awareness of a subject and is the direct opposite, so it is the correct answer. The other three are deliberate traps because 'scholarly', 'learned' and 'intellectual' are all close synonyms of erudite rather than antonyms. Candidates should always check whether three options cluster together in meaning. Hence the correct answer is Uninformed.
